    Codification Note: Part 1611 is a codification of the previously 
unpublished flammability standard for vinyl plastic film which was 
derived from part of the requirements of Commercial Standard 192-53, 
issued by the Department of Commerce, effective on May 22, 1953. This 
flammability standard became mandatory through section 4(a) of the 
Flammable Fabrics Act, as amended in 1954, and remains in effect due to 
the savings clause (section 11) of Public Law 90-189. Paragraph 3.11 of 
the Commercial Standard, referred to in the 1954 act, has been codified 
as Sec.  1611.3 16 CFR part 1609 containes the text of the Flammable 
Fabrics Act of 1953, as amended in 1954.


    Authority: Sec.  4, Pub. L. 83-88, 67 Stat. 112, as amended, 68 Stat. 
770 (15 U.S.C. 1193); Sec.  11, Pub. L. 90-189, 81 Stat. 568.


    The purpose of this standard is to promulgate a minimum standard for 
flammability of vinyl plastic film which are subject to the requirements 
of the Flammable Fabrics Act.
